North American division will feature 12 teams instead of 14 going forward.

In just two days, the ESL Pro League CS:GO, the longest running professional Counter-Strike league, will kick off for its seventh season and for the first time ever will be broadcast exclusively on Facebook in English and Portugese. Check out our “how to watch” page for more details.

Two of the licenses for Pro League Season 7 have not been renewed (Misfits & CLG), bringing the total number of North American participating teams to 12.

Despite no changes made to the relegation system, this adjustment will affect the structure of the season finals, which will be announced in the coming days. The league administration will re-evaluate the structure for Season 8 later this year with the option to go back to 14 teams.
